If only our eyes saw souls instead of bodies. How different our ideals of beauty would be.

Humanity

There you are, working remotely in the sun, by the crystal clear water, coconut in hand.

Australia, Greece, Bali, the Maldives, it could be anywhere and you’re making bank, easily doing your work without a care in the world.

Sure, your other colleagues may be jealous, but you’re performing at your best and your boss doesn’t care, so why should you.

Getting to this point required a little momentum, mostly internally, so you could overcome the limiting beliefs and finally felt comfortable making confident lifestyle and career choices.

To get here you had to know your worth, and let it be known.

From this, you then chose only to work with other parties that are aligned. All else can go by.

If an organization can’t meet you at this level of operational performance, delivering results from an exotic location that feeds your soul, then another provider will.

Only you can do what you can do.

This confidence is magnetic.

It’s BOSS mode level, and it’s the lifestyle of a leader.

There’s no ego in it, you just want to have a rich lifestyle full of freedom and choice, on your terms.

Go for it. You’re grounded and grateful enough to keep sharing your riches and giving back.

This is the lifestyle we encourage in our career and lifestyle accelerator MOMENTUM.

Sure, some work requires you to be in person, but have you ever really thought about designing your life?

You designed everything else, about your living arrangements, didn’t you?

Why not start thinking about the thing you spent the most amount of time in?

Do you know that feeling of warm summer evenings where you feel festive, relaxed, and happy?

Can you imagine having this all year round?

That sense of aliveness, activity, and life is a feeling brought on by your environment.

Sure, you may be more inward and hermit-like in the winter months, but it’s no excuse to sulk out of bed and wish away the cooler months for warmer ones.

Life is all year round and you can find regular moments of that inner warmth amidst the grey.

If the seasons impact your mood significantly, it probably means you’re due to connecting with yourself a little deeper.

It’s normal for the weather to change your mood, but if you have a strong internal fire you’re g2g.

The sun is key to your well-being, but your inner fire is like an inner sun, so keep it lit and shine that light.

If you don’t know where to begin with that, come back to what brings you joy. Start there.

The sun never sets and neither should your inner light.

Picture this: you've just finished a mammoth and grueling day of work, and you still have as much energy as when you started…

Now, you ease into your evening doing what you love most, family, friends, hobbies…

All while being excited for the next day.

Sounds realistic?

All it takes is a little momentum, mindfulness and perhaps a coffee or two ☕😂

In all honesty, when you are connected to your inner energy, your actions from the day can’t deplete you to the point of exhaustion.

The secret to going from surviving to thriving during the working day is to tap into your inner energy.

So you can enjoy the time you have outside of work in full presence.

One way I do that is to take a few minutes of do not disturb ‘me time.'

I put on some music that takes me to my happy place where I receive this inner energy.

Preferably I do this where I can see nature and I remind myself how special life is, and why I’m doing this work today.

Because one day I know I won’t be… ⚰️

In life you have an identity, you have to pick a player.

It’s the rules of the game, otherwise you are just an observer.

A big part of ‘going within’ and self-actualisation is dissolving the ego.

You realise the truth: “I am not my body, I am not my mind, I am not my breath.”

Then you move into the equanimous void of impermanence and you become nothing 🕳️

…..

You become the witness, sitting on the fence of life but nothing happens there.

There is no movement, no mechanisation, no propulsion.

The secret is to balance just enough of a wildly fulfilling and authentic identity, but just don’t get lost in it.

With this identity, you can play the game of life.

A high-stakes game, but a game nonetheless, and every game needs a character.

Who will you be?

I’d say you’re the hero in your story.

So start acting like one.

What would your hero do about your health? Your confidence? Your mindset and your habits?

What about your relationships and your career, what would the action hero do here?

Living life this way becomes so profoundly different.

You become a force to be reckoned with, in your own story anyway…

Picture this, a recession hits, if you don’t lose your job, downsizing has meant you now work the role of two people, or three, for the same pay.

People are scared, worried and stressed.

Mental health concerns are on the rise.

Yet, you take it in your stride, and weather this storm with a song in your heart.

In fact, you’re rock solid, cool, calm and collected.

You are happier and healthier than your colleagues and as a result, you perform better, so they give you more work.

Whatever, you’re thriving in every area of your life and you’re born to shine.

Shrinking or hiding under the radar isn’t your style.

Even your personal endeavors, intimate relationships, and sense of meaning and purpose are flourishing.

No matter what happens you’re confident and inspired.

That’s true mindfulness.

The power to shape your internal experience over your circumstances.

Don’t wait for an ‘event’ to live like this.

Live like this today, and join a community of others doing the same.

You know you’re successful when you feel energised, excited and inspired even in the middle a massive workload and the middle of the week.

Especially when you keep your smile after getting slammed with meetings, deal with unpleasant people and face frustrating outcomes.

Don’t let the events of the day take away from your magic.

You’re too special for that, so let the less than amazing joo joo slide on by, more goodness is right around the corner.

Regardless of what happens to the planet, my family, my community, my body, all of my assets, my bank account, my privilege, and the economy, we’re all going to be just fine.

This life of yours is everything and yet it is only just the beginning.

On and on you shall go.

Your consciousness is a forever thing.

Truly. Really. Fully.

When you know this you become free.

Free from fear, from anything, from any man, being, or event.

You become free from fear itself because you have come to know yourself as God.

To know yourself as God is to know the other.

When you know that and meet it, then you have no fear.

You become deathless.

We all yearn for a very long, rich, and full life with our clan but do not be afraid to die.

It’s then you truly begin to live.

For you see everything as eternity passing in the blink of an eye.

You start to see and meet the Creator in each and every moment.

Even the hard ones, the challenging ones, the murky ones.

It’s in those moments if you stare into the abyss long enough you see your home.

Even if the struggle has only ever been in your mind, no one makes it out alive in this life.

There are challenges for us all, some are so great, but just know you are forged in the origin fires destined to grow strong during your lifetime.

You were made for this.

Nothing that happens to you can destroy your spirit or take your power away.

You are deathless, and so the game of life really begins, and it’s measured in the fullness and richness of your experiences.

May great love fill your heart today and all you share it with, even those strangers we may never meet again, this time around.

Today is the day to be ALL YOU ARE.

When YOU ARE THAT the universe opens its secrets to you.

I don't know what's right for you but I know for me I’ve suffered a lot of self-inflicted pain on the path to personal development and self-actualization, to liberation.

While this is an inner journey, it also has external side effects.

People will say all sorts of s**t about when you try to better yourself and outgrow your old version.

A version that may have been a bit lost, wild, rude, awkward, selfish, egotistical, or perhaps comfortably small and non-confrontational.

Remember that version of you, no matter how cringe it may be now, made you who you are today.

Yes, you’ve outgrown that old shell but it was your daily life at one point.

Even who you are now will be outgrown, as proud as you may be of it and as far as you’ve come.

The secret is to never give up and keep letting go.

If you want to grow out of whatever shell or version of you you’re in now DM me.

Tell me where you’re at, and I’ll see if I can help shine a light back into you on the next step.

Sometimes it takes someone to reflect on what we already know.

You don’t need to go out of your way to be yourself.

We live in a world where conformity it rewarded, socially, institutionally and governmentally.

Conformity is drilled into you from a young age.

Reinforced throughout peer pressures of adolescence and by the time you’re an adult you’ve hitched your wagon to what everyone else is doing.

I really struggled with this, many of us do, but it’s important to never give up on your unique energy. It’s your genius.

It’s too strong, and too dominant a force in your own world to even try to. That’s my experience.

For me, it’s made a relatively privileged life harder through the choice of isolation and hermitage.

Preferring my own company in the face of never fitting it.

I have few close friends, they know I’m weird and they love me for it.

As for everyone else, it shouldn’t feel like an effort to express yourself. It should just flow.

The older I get the more raw I become.

It’s a refined kind of rawness, like there’s no need to hide anything or make myself shiny for anyone.

When you feel comfortable to be yourself, rough edges and all, you know you’ve made it.

Your uniqueness has survived the game of life.

So what will do you with it?

It’s time to bear fruit I say even if it’s not quite the taste of everyone 🌳

If you work on your self-confidence and self-worth, be careful not to become deaf to the opinion of others.

Even the naysayers, you need them too because they help pressure test your identity.

Naysayers, and people who like to talk 💩 about you, unintentionally also shine a brutal light on the areas you may have been blind to.

In a way, your close network has not been able to, or willing to.

By doing this you make a resource out of them, not obstacles. They add more fuel to your fire.

Having a healthy amount of self-esteem helps with this bittersweet medicine.

Because you can be objective in your self-assessment and then improve it. Without feeling shame or guilt, or ego and resentment.

May you find your pressure tests in a safe and supporting way so you can feel more yourself.

Without the bright and shiny business card and needing approval from others.

You don’t want that, not everyone is your people,

Find your people and get a strong living amongst everyone else.

That’s what I’m finding in a world that prefers you to play small.

Investing in your mental health is encouraged by your work, family and friends, so don’t be seen lagging in it! Try this FREE breathwork program.

Luckily for you, mental and emotional health is a lifelong journey so there’s no rush.

Breathwork is an essential part of that journey.

So are the skills to help shift your mindset and improve your well-being, not only for yourself but also for others.

When you know how to regulate your nervous system, shift heavy emotions and feel calmer you become freer.

You perform better, and you have a healthy glow about you 🤩

This freedom feels like a superpower, especially in this age of chronic and increasing mental and emotional distress.

One breathwork technique I enjoy is increasing my exhale by twice the amount for about 8 rounds.

It’s normal to feel tired working full time, keeping on top of your life admin, exercise routine and social and family life.

If you have kids….. you’re on a whole other level of priorities 👏🏻

The thing is, if you feel tired and fatigued now, how do you think you’ll feel in your mid 40’s, 50s and 60’s? 🕳️🚪

If you stay on the same course, do you think you’ll grow stronger and get more energy… or less?

You already know this, and that’s why you worry about what your plan is for your working life. It can make you feel trapped.

This is a powerful place to be because it’s the start of making massive change.

This is your moment to choose the best path ahead imaginable.

One where you have a high-energy body that supports a high-energy life.

One where you feel calm and confident, present and wildly fulfilled. Passionate and powerful.

A life full of meaningful work and meaningful relationships.

It all starts with your mindset and the habits around maintaining your energy levels.

The place to be, to feel free.

There is a place you can go when you feel overwhelmed and stressed.

If it had a location I would say it’s your centre.

Just beneath your naval. To access this place feel the breath moving in and out.

Each breath notifies your centre of the mind’s arrival like a knock on the door.

It only takes a few breaths before you’re welcomed into your centre. 🟡

The feeling is distinct. It’s calm, grounded, and powerful but also sensitive.

The more you breathe and keep your awareness here, the better you instantly feel.

Stay here.

Then start to imagine an outer shell of yourself, filled with those heavy thoughts and emotions, start to crack away, dissolve and turn to dust.

Evaporated and blown away….. Leaving only what’s true and real.

Come back to your centre whenever you need. The ancients called it the seat of your soul.

Imagine waking up each day excited to a life of meaningful work and meaningful relationships. Imagine it..

People think that to fall in love with your life you have to do something grand and remarkable or be in some exotic or extraordinary place.

Instagram has warped our brains to literally think the grass is always greener and everyone is living a better life. We are poisoned with FOMO.

People think that to live authentically and be wildly fulfilled they have to have found their passion, made it their job, and or built a business around it.

The truth is you can work in any job, at any level, for any pay, and feel these things.

Studies have shown that your happiness doesn’t improve much over about the $70K mark.

So what’s the secret?

It’s in being in love with the journey of life. Falling in love with each and every note of the symphony, not just the end.

Every day that you are alive is an experience to be lived.

If you truly experience the moment you truly live. This is presence. This is mindfulness.

The modern world has tricked you to think otherwise when the truth is it’s about going back to simplicity.

Going back to yourself, coming home to who you truly are.

Savouring each and every interaction, because they are all passing…

Fall in love with yourself this time around. That is your only purpose in this life.

On the way share that love with those around you.

If you can do that, you have brought heaven to earth.

The price of success, is trusting yourself beyond doubt.

Look at all of the people you truly aspire to be like, financially, in relationships, career, health, adventure, and lifestyle…

All of them seem to have this ease about their life. They have this glow and lightheartedness.

Their life seems to have this flow, magic, and grace to it.

If you ask them about their success (as you see it) it just seems to have unfolded.

Jealousy aside, looking at how they did it, they will tell you it’s because their inner voice that guided their decisions was greater than any outer voice.

The life of their dreams unfolded because they trusted their gut and backed themselves.

They were confident that everything would just work out.

If you know this is true, why do you still cling to the doubt that you need to be anything else but yourself?

Your life can be just as remarkable if you allow your inner voice to lead the way.

Only you can live your life. Stop living in the shadows of someone else's. photo:

You work the job you do now because it pays you, and if you’re lucky maybe you enjoy it.

Your work may stimulate you, have good perks, and be in an industry that doesn’t F up the planet 💣🌎

But does it get you excited?

Does it give you meaning and purpose?

Does it surround you with empowering people and meaningful relationships?

To be honest, our jobs, like life, are filled with all sorts of people, from all walks of life.

Most people in life are grateful for their job, their security, and their safety.

Most people are happy to do the bare minimum, they don’t rock the boat and have given up on any radically inspiring story about their life. They follow the herd.

They are happy to leave work at work. They punch in and out and enjoy their free time.

They provide for their families and show up daily, and there is nobility in that.

The difference between them and you is that they have accepted their normalcy.

They are happy to do the same thing, more or less, for the next 40 years.

If you feel unsettled by this, it’s because there is something left unlived inside of you.

You don’t have to know what it is, to know it is something. Let it free or let it die.

What happens next is up to you, but you have to start the journey and it won't happen until you take the first step.

MOMENTUM is that first step. Allow us to help you move that energy out into the world.

Are you willing to really see what you’re made of? Worst case scenario you end up back here.

You pay for space.

The more space you want the more you have to pay.

The same goes for mental space.

If you want to feel more spacious, clear, and expansive in your mind, with less clutter there is a price.

What’s the cost?

5 minutes of mindful meditation should do it.

That’s the price of building out space in your mind.

5 minutes, each and every day, to clear the chatter and the fog. To open out and expand.

The more minutes you spend the more space you create🌅

The choice is yours, and there are no limits.

Invest 2 minutes today and see what it does for you. Free meditation in bio.

The dream without the wait, the career without the stress. 🏝️

Do you still dream of being free, retiring early, and never having to work again?

It would be normal if you did. We all daydream a little…

To daydream is to be half in, in your current life.

But what if you could be ALL IN and be so wildly fulfilled and so totally content that you wanted for nothing?

In this kind of life, your career grows with your energy, rather than shrinks it.

In this life, you become the central player in a much bigger plan on a truly epic journey.

In this life your work becomes an expression of your unique gifts and talents, it becomes a legacy.

In this life, you retire because your passionate flame has burned as brightest and as long as it could have.

When you build a career around your life goals, as a way of experiencing the world you fall in love with the journey. Not the destination.

People live like this.

We at MOMENTUM live like this. We raise our vibes and we keep going.

We have jobs just like you, yet we feel truly alive, we feel free.

No day is wasted. Nothing is in vain.

All it takes is a shift in perspective to turn the mundane into magic. ✨

Let us show you how.

Who do you think you are?

According to your brain and emotions, who you are is cemented between the ages of 0-7 years old.

You are pretty much wired to be who you are from those early childhood experiences.

Like a hard drive, your identity adopts whatever information is encoded in their first.

More importantly, you are hardwired to defend these beliefs because they were there first.

So they must be right.

You live out your entire life reinforcing and defending these unconscious beliefs even if they are not useful and harmful to you.

So how do you change them?

Work with a coach who can help you see where they are showing up in your life, relationships, career, finances, and health.

Only you can reprogram them.

Knowing what they are is the first step. They are often in our blindspots.

We are often our own hardest critics and our own worst enemies.

Odds are you rarely tell others what's really going on inside your own head.

You probably don’t want to sound crazy.

It’s ok, everyone's the same.

One thing that I’ve come to accept is that I think the human psyche is defaulted to negative because beauty lives in the ascent.

The climb out of the muck, sorrow, and more of our own lunacy and fallibility.

Into hires planes, of serene calm and connection.

We have to know the low, to know the high.

It’s our responsibility to put in the work to climb ourselves out of this. No one else can do it for us.

Do you agree?

As a wellness instructor, there are three things I’ve learned in training people to build a strong and resilient body.

1. Only you know what feels good for you. Listen to it, your body will tell you.

2. When you’re tired and ready to give up you’re only at 40%. Push through!

3. Everybody has a different body, your goal is to master yours.

You’re in your body for your entire life. So look after it and it will look after you.

The first time I experienced energy work a shaman removed a week-long pain in my lower back from my first crossfit training.

Since then I’ve met many powerful teachers who know how to work with energy.

Energy work is like a language. Once you know it you have it for life.

The essence of it, I have found, is the intention, imagination and mechanics.

All life is made of atomic energy that is constantly changing and moving.

Life is a dance. An exchange.

If you learn this dance, you can shift the energy in yourself, the spaces you go to, and in others.

It all starts with yourself.

Clearing and caring for your own field first, so you can care for others.

If you’ve ever said this, then I assume you have a plan. 1 - 3 years, 5- 10 years, it doesn’t matter.

A peacetime and a wartime plan to transition you from where you are to where you want to be.

If you need help with this, consider joining a community of young leaders going all in on their life’s wildest vision.

Mindfulness ain't save the day, but it may help alleviate the mental and emotional BS.

When things are going crap or we feel crap, we often look for a credible, practical answer, something scientific but also deeply personal.

Mindfulness solves this problem. People know this and still don’t give it a proper go.

The only way to know if mindfulness will work for you is to try it.

When you try something without expecting it to be anything you often get great results.

Non-attachment is the core teaching in Buddhism and a big part of mindfulness.

Expect less in your life, and show up more. This way you will always be happily surprised.

Health, Business, or Love-Life?

What order is best?

Focus on your health first, it will bring you self-respect and the power to feel more confident and vibrant.

It will bring you more money. You can always make more money.

When you walk into a room the strongest version of yourself, always at your edge you really meet your potential.

Being healthy means being anti-fragile. If you have a choice, health is the way.

Focus on your business or career, and go for it. Etch your name passionately into what you do.

Help others and listen to the wise council but trust your gut and go hard in the paint.

As for love, you can’t go looking for that it just happens and when it does everything will seem secondary.

But just remember the order, without the former two you can’t support the latter.

Even though as Mr. Bob Marley would say love is priceless.

“We'll be together, With a roof right over our heads, We'll share the shelter, Of my single bed, We'll share the same room”

When people are unhappy with their situation they turn to mysticism, astrology, and the supernatural 🙋🏽‍♂️

It makes sense, it helps to divine greater meaning from a higher plane than from our current reality.

I used to read a detailed astrological analysis and my own personal horoscope each week when I was terribly unhappy and unhealthy working in my office cubicle.

All I wanted to read was exactly what I needed to hear but I was too afraid to do it myself.

So I externalized the responsibility like a wimp.

Years went by and I’d still be listening to my natal chart audio recording… looking for the “ah ha” moment on what the F to do.

Then one day I just made a choice.

No matter what the cards say I was going to write my own destiny and change my own life.

I know I have so much to be thankful for, it’s wild how much I have.

But when you’re lost in doubt you can have a failure to launch and stay stuck.

If you feel a little stuck in a rut, then it’s time to choose your own cards and play your own hand…

The universe wants you to do that. It really does.

You can always choose again and again.

What is the choice you’re afraid to make but know you need to?

No matter how good you get at playing the game and fitting in deep down you know there is SOMETHING MISSING.

You feel it so deep, but you just keep pushing the boat out further thinking ‘someday’ you’ll find it…

Years pass by… maybe decades.

Meanwhile, it's amazing that you have gotten so good at hiding your true desires.

Unfortunately, there are no awards for being a chameleon, and hiding from your truth.

In fact, it leads you to a life of regret and frustration.

If you know you need to make a radical change but can’t come to it, it’s ok there is no rush.

It took me 4 years to change my industry and vocation, but it all started from a choice…

A choice to fill this missing hole in my life and career.

You’ve waited this long, why not make sure the biggest move of your life is the right one?

To help you flirt with filling that missing piece download my free life alignment toolkit.

I used this framework to begin my life-changing journey.👇

The Dr. said “the scan says you’ve got a fractured vertebrae and a bulging disk.”

We looked at each other and smiled “report says…”

That’s one way to look at it.

Then I said, “ I’m going to have to fix this myself aren't I?”

She said “yep”.

Having a Doctor like that is on the same page with mind over matter is a game changer.

Obviously following cutting-edge medical protocols is a good idea. Duh!

The same can be said for strengthening the entire area under strain and doing everything in your power to support it.

The mind-body connection is everything☝️

If you’re not in your body (aka embodied) you’re going to encounter problems.

If you feel your connection to your body is not where it should be then let’s work together..

Emotional avoidance, intimacy issues, high stress, anxiety, and low libido are all gateways to being more embodied.

Most of us walk around thinking through life, not feeling through it.

I would know I was there🙋🏽‍♂️ Hit me up for your embodiment protocol.
